Dano left college for the sake of pursuing her modeling career, when she was recruited by Nina Blanchard’s modeling agency, and moved to New York. This was just a first step to the development of Dano’s career, as she soon became an actress for the 20th Century Fox Studios, portrayed numerous supporting characters for this studio during the ‘70s. After her contract with the studio expired, Linda joined the ABC TV soap opera ‘’One Life To Live’’ in 1978, and gradually gained fame in the acting industry, being a part of the show for two years. Her next role aa novelist Felicia Gallant in the TV show ‘’Another World’’ remains one of her most critically praised roles, especially as the show was ran from 1982 until 1999, adding significantly to her net worth.
During her ‘’Another World’’ days, she published the romantic novel ‘’Dreamweaver’’ under the name of Felicia Gallant, and in 1985, she became a hostess of the talk show ‘’Attitudes’’ alongside Nancy Glass. Their work was widely recognized and they were nominated for a Daytime Emmy in the category of Outstanding Talk show. Dano was active in this field until 1991. She had a lot on her plate at this point and alongside this job, she re-appeared in ‘’One Life To Live’’.
